This forms an orthogonal rake producing orthogonal spaceships (and also 2 of an oscillator), all of which appear to be quite rare: x = 3, y = 11, rule = B34j/S2-i3-a4i6ae o$2o$b2o$2o4$2o$b2o$2o$o! Chaos in B1e/S1e forms growing domains of different-parity checkerboard chaos (chaos in B1e/S also does...

A similar phenomenon can also occur with the von Neumann neighborhood. The top pattern retains the crystal, the bottom (with the big box shifted 1 generation forward) one collapses, except for the walls of the box, which are indestructible from within: x = 53, y = 162, rule = B2/S23V 44o$ob3o3b2o2bo...

Some strange patterns in Dot2: Interesting sawtoothy thing: x = 6, y = 3, rule = Dot2 4.A$E3.GF$EA! Very weird double version: x = 21, y = 20, rule = Dot2 .F6$DG10$14.A$14.G5.F$.2E.C$2.E!

Here's a universal constructor (that doesn't copy the tape), which I made a while ago. It uses some weird tricks, the weirdest of which was made by accident. It has a 2d tape and a simple code, where runs of wire followed by isolators (except at ends of lines) define the signal sent to the construct...

In dot2, it should be possible to construct guns for the orthogonal spaceships using duplicating reactions such as this: x = 9, y = 3, rule = Dot2 A$4.F$8.C! I have finished the state 6 factory. State 7 is different and harder because it can only be pulled, not pushed x = 82, y = 85, rule = Dot2 6$3...

Found this rule with a (relatively crappy) python rule-finding program and some luck: It is mildly explosive and medium-sized soups often stabilize after a few thousand genrations. Stabilizing methuselahs are fun to watch. The chaos consists of very checkerboardy c/3 wickstretchers and spaceships cr...

I made a rule to simulate waves that can go through each other (with delay) and bounce off walls. Rules: A state 0 cell touching a state 1 cell becomes state 1. A state 1 cell becomes state 2.

(large bump) I've been exploring a simple real-valued-state CA rulespace with only 2 (real-valued) parameters using a bad piece of C++ code I've written. Each cell updates like this: n is the sum of the cell neighborhood (including the cell itself) new_value = max(0, -(x - a)^2 + b) The rule is simi...

If there was a p3 phoenix in B3/S, it would also work in B3/S/G3 because the cells would be dead for 2 generations in a row. This also applies to all 'super-phoenices' (every cell alive only once per period) in B3/S/G(period). There would also be P3 phoenices that would work in the generations rule ...

A generalization of generations/snoitareneg. The rules are expressed in the form Bxyz/Sxyz/Gx/Fx,y,z, where: B: Numbers of "fertile" neighbors required for birth S: Numbers of fertile neighbors required for a fertile cell to not change state G: Number of states F: Fertile states For example, B34/S5/...

Still Life 1 (also known as Static-1 or Frozen Galaxy) is the first* still life to be discovered. It was found in 1990 by Custavo9384851328598. Most of it was found using a modification of ẅfind that allowed to search for still lives. The partial was completed by Custavo9384851328598 after manually...

Here's a version without backfire (it wasn't a feature, but it was useful in some cases and saved states).

I got the inspiration to make this rule from messing around with some glider logic (forgot the rule). @RULE glogic @TABLE n_states: 8 neighborhood:vonNeumann symmetries:none ##Glogic: A photon logic rule that aims to minimize need for timing ##Inspired by glider logic that makes many life-like rules...
